Every year we head out to the desert (La Quinta) for a little holiday R&R. I’ve been looking forward to our upcoming break so much so that I’ve already started the packing process. And even though the temperatures won’t be at their normal highs, I still can’t resist packing some Palm Springs-esque essentials. Here are a few things that are making me excited for our mini vacation.

A winter white bikini by Seafolly, Garrett Leight sunglasses, a Gigi New York pouch and an amazing new hot pink mini skirt from Pitusa.

 J.Crew Panama hat and colorful hair ties from Kitsch.
